Forbidden Passion

Chapter 692 Is It Your Child

As Theodore got closer, the gap between them shrank, and Phoebe's mind went totally blank. His eyes drifted past her nose and settled on her rosy lips. Phoebe got the hint.

Just as Theodore was about to kiss her, Phoebe gently turned her head, dodging his lips. The air got thick and awkward.

Theodore froze, looking down at Phoebe, his heart aching. Back in the day, he would've grabbed her chin and made her face him for a kiss. But now, that kind of move felt way too pushy. Theodore pulled back smoothly and said softly, "You're glowing tonight, it's hard to look away."

Phoebe's ears got warm. She'd never heard Theodore compliment her like that before, and it threw her off. She looked at him, trying to figure out if this was the same Theodore she knew. Theodore raised an eyebrow and smiled gently, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Phoebe looked away, then back at him, saying, "I just didn't know you could say such nice things."

That comment seemed to stir up some old, not-so-great memories. They exchanged a look, and Phoebe turned her head to stare out the window.

The car went quiet.

Jack, sitting up front, heard their chat and felt anxious for them. The vibe was so good; couldn't Theodore just say something sweet?

Half an hour later, the car pulled up outside Lakeview Estates. The place was nice, with a big artificial lake, bike and walking paths, rows of townhouses, and modern apartments further out. Outside cars weren't allowed in the villa area, so Jack had to stop outside. Seeing that Theodore and Phoebe seemed to have more to say, he made an excuse to step out and wait.

Phoebe knew Theodore would eventually find out where she lived, so when she saw Jack driving towards Lakeview Estates, she didn't stop him.
